My six year old, Caleb. I like this, because of the abstract feel and it is so obvious that he has a big grin on his face... to me, anyhow. I can't even remember what we were doing exactly, but often with my kids, I just get the camera out and start shooting often.
PP - cropping, adjust levels & contrast, desat, use photo filter for slight warming effect, clone out a couple of cookie crumbs, USM, reduce noise, some blur tool.
This is SO interesting, Bud! It does have a sophisticated abstract feel to it -- but the grin is delightfully unexpected and gives it a playful, happy feel to it. Fantastic job creating such a cool photo.
what an unusual perspective to portrait a smile in ones face.
i love the softness of those curves and the grain, too.
it's a pleasure to look at this image, thanks!
I really like this perspective..from the top down. I agree with your "vision" of the abstract feel too..it really works and the big grin is perfect. Very well seen and captured.
I like the abstract feeling and yet the photo easily gets a message and feeling across. I think I may have brightened it a bit, but thats just what I would have done, I think it works very well the way it is also.
